So sitting here with almost 4 YOE. Was at one job for 1 year, jumped to another for 2 years, now almost at the current one for 1 year. How bad is it gonna look if I jump from here after hitting 1 yr mark?

I definitely feel that. The worst place to be is somewhere you’ve maxed out in growth for sure

If you are relocating jobs due to bad work conditions it’s hard to fault you on. If you are making rapid job changes to get a better salary/position/title then it can definitely look bad going for a higher tier position. If all the experience is in the same industry and you can speak to your time at each company you should be alright. I’d recommend having a solid answer to “What is your 5-10 year plan”. Otherwise your job history will speak for itself highlighting you don’t stay long.

It’s not “bad work conditions” per say, but i mentioned in a post above that it feels like a bait and switch. It feels like the longer I stay in this role the more I’m going to be pigeon-holed into something I don’t want to work in long term. Maybe internal transfer is the way to go lol

No one cares anymore, the time for employee employer loyalty has long come to an end. We all understand how business works. Especially early on in career I would very much recommend the job hopping approach to quickly level up your base salary

Disagree - jumping around can look like you are not doing well and that you wouldn't stay long if we hired you.

I would say it looks bad if you are not upgrading to a more prestigious firm when you jump. If you are moving to similar firms into similar roles it looks like you were not doing well and got pushed out. If you are upgrading firms and roles then it can look good. That does depend on the people looking at your resume understanding the firms/roles you went between of course.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Me and my partner are not sure whether we want to have kids . Sometimes we want to and the next day we are completely against the idea . The reason we want to have kids is that we want to grow our inner circle , have more people in this world who we can call our family. And we don’t want to have kids is that it will put extra pressure on us , less freedom for next 10-15 years. Wanted to understand why people have kids or don’t have kids . Please share your thoughts :)
